I’m Really Playing Basketball

The first two games of G1 and G2 of the NBA 2016 Finals really stunned the onlookers and both parties involved.

Both teams played amazing basketball in these two games.

In G1, the Bucks decisively gave up the team's regular season tactical system of chasing Dream Green at the top of the arc, and instead played the Dooku pick-and-roll.

In G2, the Warriors, facing the Bucks' pressure, still trusted the team's tactical core, dealer Jokic, and Jokic also responded to the Warriors' trust with his performance in G2.

Both teams played their own style and style in the previous two finals.

Such two close contests really amaze fans and audiences across the NBA and are enjoyable to watch at the same time. Naturally, they are full of expectations for the upcoming G3.

For both sides of the game, G3 is full of expectations, but more of it is actually racking their brains for repeated deductions.

Especially for the Bucks, after the Warriors' Jokic performed such an outstanding performance in G2, can they still resolutely let Jokic go?

To be honest, this is not easy for any team or anyone.

For the Warriors, this is also a problem. Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Bucks have the advantage.

Can the Warriors change their tactical system and save the situation?

Or should I say that if we continue like this and don't save the situation, we will be useless wherever we go?

If it really counts wherever you go, then the initiative in this finals will always be in the hands of the Bucks.

As long as the Bucks can control themselves, they will be able to gain the initiative to compete for the championship.

As for the Warriors, they need to expect the Bucks to make mistakes.

This is not a reassuring thing.

And if the team's tactical system is changed and the initiative is taken back, then it is possible to regain the initiative, but it may also collapse directly due to such a change in formation.

If nothing changes now, at least when Jokic plays well, the Warriors still have a good chance of winning.

Therefore, it is not that the Warriors cannot win.

But what if...

Let's put it this way, the Dooku pick-and-roll system can work unless Dooku pulls every game. Even if one of the two Dooku pulls, when the two of them are in the pick-and-roll, both of them need to defend. It is impossible to give up one to flank the other.

But Jokic, if he is strong, then you don’t have to worry about him. Even if he is not strong, but just average, you don’t have to worry about him.

If the Warriors want to defeat the Bucks, they have to be like G2, where Jokic exploded on the offensive end.

Any normal person can see that such conditions do not match.

So faced with such unequal winning and losing conditions, how could Kerr and the Warriors remain indifferent after winning a G2 game?

In fact, after G1 ended, the Warriors had already considered giving up Jokic's playmaker's style of play, just like the Bucks gave up Green's playmaker.

But the Bucks have already prepared the Dooku pick-and-roll option.

The Warriors also have alternatives, but Cole is not sure if they can be used, and he is not so brave to use them.

As Jordan's former assistant coach, Cole certainly knows the biggest trump card of Jordan's coaching, which is to let Chen Xiao go if he can't beat him.

At this time, it is actually the most suitable time to let Chen Xiao go.

But the opponent the Warriors are facing now, the Bucks, is a very special team.

This team has too many forwards!

Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Iguodala, Ariza, Nene, Braxson...

The media said that the Bucks are the top five catchers. In fact, in Cole's view, the Bucks are the seven best catchers!

Perhaps, the Bucks are waiting for the Warriors to move Chen Xiao to the center position.

Let's put it this way, since the Bucks have so carefully considered their own team's Green and the Warriors' Jokic, Cole doesn't believe that Ray Allen has not considered the Warriors' response. .

So, this is what makes it difficult for Cole. He is afraid that if his change of formation still fails, the mentality of the entire Warriors team will collapse.

Because letting Chen Xiao go was really the last resort.

If this trick doesn't work, the mentality of the Warriors players will change.

How did the saying come about?

That is nuclear weapons, which are most powerful when not in use.

Because there is a nuclear weapon behind you, whether it is Jokic, Big Eyebrow, Cole, Beal or others, they all believe that they will not lose, no matter how they perform, because they have this planet behind them The most powerful nuclear weapon in the world, their belief is still there.

Therefore, after the G2 game, Cole was frantically discussing with his assistants whether to use the tactic of releasing Chen Xiao.

Most of the assistants believe that it is time and need to be released. Otherwise, after three consecutive away games, the Warriors are really not sure to bring the game back to Golden State and cannot bet everything on Jokic's touch.

You can't pin everything on Jokic being a key player.

Many times, Cole was convinced.

Even after the Golden State Warriors came to Milwaukee, in the last preparation meeting before the game, Kerr actually relaxed in the face of consistent advice from his assistants.

However, thinking about his efforts in cultivating role players with the Warriors over the past four years, and Chen Xiao's support for the role players he has cultivated over the past four years, Cole finally gritted his teeth and said: "Our God, don't move. !”

Cole's voice was trembling, but extremely clear and firm.

No one knows what happened in the Warriors' pre-game tactical preparation meeting.

That night, June 8, G3 between the Warriors and Bucks at Bradley Arena in Milwaukee, the game hadn't started yet and they were warming up before the game.

At this time, in the center of the court, Bucks guard Stephen Curry was having a shooting duel with Warriors star Chen Xiao.

One for Chen Xiao, one for Curry, another for Chen Xiao, and another for Curry...

It wasn't until the eighth round that Chen Xiao hit and Curry struck, ending the duel in the center circle.

Chen Xiao scored 8 of 8, while Curry scored 7 of 8.

The fans at Bradley Arena were extremely excited when watching this game, and Chen Xiao and Curry cheered in the audience.

After all, Bradley Arena is also the home court of Marquette University, and Chen Xiao is known as the godfather of Marquette University.

Therefore, at least one-third of the fans at the scene were Milwaukee fans wearing Chen Xiao's Marquette University jersey.

It can be said that the pre-game shooting contest between Curry and Chen Xiao in the center circle was the greatest benefit to Milwaukee fans.

However, under the current broadcast conditions, such benefits are actually for the entire NBA fans.

The shooting match between Chen Xiao and Curry in the middle circle stunned the two commentators on the scene, Mai Zi and Chris Webber.

"In our time, I never thought that basketball in the future would become what it is now!"

"The emergence of Chen changed the NBA and everything. Our God, he changed basketball!"

At this time, on the court, Curry and Chen Xiao hugged each other after the game.

"Such a duel has been in my dream for fifteen years, and now it has finally become a reality."

Curry was very excited. His mind was full of memories of when he was 14 years old, when he, his younger brother Curry Jr., and his younger sister Curry Mei imitated Chen Xiaoshi when they were in the second grade.

Fourteen years ago, he had this kind of duel with his brother and sister.

Fourteen years later, he had such a duel with his idol Chen Xiao on the NBA court, on the stage of the NBA Finals.

He has fulfilled his dream.

Now that the dream has come true, winning or losing doesn’t matter.

Moreover, he never felt that he could defeat Chen Xiao.

Because Chen Xiao, his idol, God, has never been defeated off the court.

Whether it's one-on-one or against a team, he never loses, and that's why he is God.

However, although Curry lost, Warriors head coach Cole on the sidelines was really frightened when he saw Curry making 7 of 8 shots in the circle during the pre-game warm-up.

With this touch, Dooku's pick-and-roll in this game is going to be invincible.

Durant is as famous as Chen Xiao as an offensive stabilizer. You can't expect Chen Xiao or Durant to be iron-clad throughout the game.

And Curry, this game is so accurate, how can he do this?

Just as Kerr's heart was trembling, the five starters from the Warriors and Bucks had already taken the court.

For the Bucks playing at home, the starters are Dream Green, Antetokounmpo, Durant, Iguodala and Curry.

As for the Warriors playing away from home, the starting lineup is Jokic, Nong Mei, Chen Xiao, Klay, and Beal.

There are no changes in this starting lineup.

Seeing the Warriors starting this game, Ray Allen showed a trace of surprise on his face on the sidelines.

"Steve Kerr is really calm."

Indeed, after the end of G2, under the overwhelming public opinion, it is indeed rare for people to remain calm.

Although the G2 Warriors won, everyone who watched the game knew that the Warriors' victory was actually very unsustainable.

Therefore, the entire public opinion is urging Cole to come up with ways to solve the Warriors' weaknesses.

Even as soon as the game started, two TNT commentators, Weber and Maizi, were discussing this matter.

"In this game, the Warriors' starting lineup is very disturbing. Cole did not make any adjustments to the lineup and starting lineup. This is not in line with the situation the Warriors are currently facing, or he simply did not understand the situation clearly. , even so, he should listen to other people's voices, or is he now so scared by the Bucks that his head is buried in the sand?"

"TMC, I think we should take another look. After all, he is also a championship coach."

"Haha, champion head coach?"

Maizi's face was really disdainful. I have to say that TNT's invitation to Maizi to be a commentator really helped Maizi reach another peak.

Maizi explained that in this position, he really brought his poisonous tongue (stinking tongue) and straightforwardness (low emotional intelligence) to the fullest, bringing a lot of traffic to himself and to TNT.

Not even Barkley was so exciting back then.

After all, when Maizi was against his childhood sweetheart, the elder brother, he would always quarrel with him whenever he wanted. The elder brother of the quarrel laughed and did not dare to meet him. Even his closest friend, the idiot, dared to complain: "What if?" My partner is O'Neal, and I have already become a dynasty."

Good guy, you and Daidai have won three championships together. Is Daidai still not worthy of you?

Of course, anyone who knows Maizi knows that he actually has no bad intentions.

But how many people in this world know about wheat?

Kobe is, Duncan is, but others are not.

So with Maizi’s speaking style, can it not be exciting?

And the most amazing thing is that few people who are criticized by Maizi dare to talk back to Maizi.

Because wheat has a high status.

Maizi is a historical giant, a three-time champion, 13 points in 35 seconds in the playoffs, a total score of 30,000 points in the regular season, a bunch of All-Stars, a bunch of All-NBA teams, and the scoring champion.

The current Maizi is simply an enhanced version of Barkley, with a more vicious mouth and a higher status than Barkley.

Among the entire active players, 99.9% of the players, coaches, and others can only hate it secretly when faced with Mai Zi's vicious tongue, otherwise they would be wrong no matter what they say.

Otherwise, Maizi would say: "I am a three-time championship, what are you, what did you win?"

Just this sentence can leave most people speechless.

Therefore, Maizi has a nickname in the commentary position, the invincible TMC!

However, as far as this game is concerned, Maizi has no respect for Cole, the championship coach, but he still has the support of many people.

Even Warriors fans think Maizi's complaints are correct.

Because of this game, Cole firmly supported Jokic, which really made the Warriors lose this game ugly.

Jokic broke out in G2 and stole a game. Just hide and laugh. How can you expect to win every game by stealing a game?

Jokic, does he have this ability?

Jokic is not bad.

However, if you ignore the God in basketball history and desperately believe in Jokic, what does this mean?

G3 is Xiaotianwangshan. Although it is not as important as G5, it is still very important. The whole world is waiting for you to change the formation, but this is what you do?

Then, in G3, the Bucks could be said to have suffered a critical defeat at Bradley Arena, losing 116 to 124 on the road by 10 points.

The score of this game seems to be a chance, but it is not the case. In this game, Curry made 3 of 14 and 1 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 11 points and 14 assists.

For fans and viewers, if you are given Curry, you will lose.

However, for professionals, Curry's iron or Durant's iron has no impact on the power of Dooku's pick-and-roll, because you dare not let either of them go, just look at Curry's assists Just know.

In this game, Durant made 19 of 28, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws, scoring a game-high 51 points.

Moreover, the entire Bucks team shot over 53% in this game, and this is the power of Dooku's pick-and-roll.

The fault tolerance rate is too strong!

The fault tolerance rate of Dooku's pick-and-roll is simply unmatched. Unless the two super giants misfire at the same time, they will be able to operate.

Of course, ordinary fans will definitely not know Cole's difficulties.

They only knew that Jokic, who Cole had high hopes for, made 0 of 7 shots in the second half, scored 5 points, and took the game away.

In fact, Jokic played pretty well in the first half. He made 6 of 10 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 15 points and had 10 rebounds and 5 assists. The Warriors also had a hard time with the Bucks in the first half. points, the score was 60 to 58 at halftime, and the Bucks won by 2 points.

But Jokic, his offensive stability really needs to be improved.

In fact, the Bucks put so much pressure on Jokic, and Jokic's defensive pressure was very little.

In fact, Jokic's offensive stability is already very strong. He is a very precocious young man.

No one understands Jokic’s strength better than Chen Xiao.

He is different from Green.

On the offensive end, Green can't do it, but he can.

But this is the finals after all.

Now the whole world's focus is on him.

"Nicholas, everyone regards you as an ordinary young man who is only 22 years old, but I know that you are not, you are not ordinary at all. Your future is not just a mere All-Star, you can be the number one A center can also be an MVP.

No one in this world knows you better than me! "

After the game, Chen Xiao didn't criticize the ups and downs of Jokic at all. He was even more firm with Jokic than Cole.
